I'm almost tempted to put aluminum arms on the front, because that's the only thing I break on the car, and only with very minor glancing blows. I just don't want to bend other things, but it's not like I'm hitting stuff hard.
I've been experimenting with the different arms. What I've found that works great is the 50 arms boiled in water for 8 min. I wouldn't recomend using the Aluminum arms. Remember when you hit, somthing's gotta give a little. If the entire thing is metal then stuff is going to bend. I would think that would be rather hard on you bulkheads.
